What is car body kit?

A car body kit is a set of modified body parts install on a car to reduce drag and lift and also not styling your car to make it look better too.

What are the different types of body kit parts components?

Below are the list of car body kit components and it’s function.

Splitter

The main function of the front splitter is to help control the flow of air at the front of the car and rearwards to the rest of the body, reducing drag and creating a downforce. It is to achieve minimum drag and maximum downforce level.

Canards (Dive Plates)

The main function of a canards is to alter the airflow along the side of the car minimizing high pressure air from entering the underneath the car.

Hood Vents

The main function of hood vents is alter airflow passing through radiator and maintain airflow through the engine bay.

Flat underbody

Flat underbody aerodynamics are the secret weapons to generating downforce on cars.

Diffuser

A diffuser acts as a way of speeding up airflow entering the car and slowing down the airflow. It is like a vacumm which it sucks air through a device. It’s main function is to generate downforce.

Spoiler

Spoilers are designed to help the flow of air at the back of the car which it is meant to deployed for increased fuel efficiency and reducing lift.

Rear Wing

The function of the rear wing is to aid acceleration, braking and cornering forces for rear tyres.

What is car body kit made from?

In the market, there are 4 different types of material used in body kit, they are Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polyurethane (PU), Polypropylene (PP + PE) and Fiber. All of our body kits are made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). At Hamel Window Films, we only import body kits that are similar to the original parts, good in quality, affordable in price and mainly made from ABS.

ABS is usually used for mass produced parts only and its fitment is as perfect as PU. It’s light in weight, hence it doesn’t add unnecessary weight to your vehicle. The finishing surface looks better than fiber glass. However, not every factory can handle ABS as well as Hamel Window Films. During the process, other plastic material is added into ABS to produce the best quality of ABS, or else the product might deform and break easily.
